AYY has sold the property at Tuhkimontie 2 to HKA Kiinteistöt Oy
The Aalto University Student Union (AYY) has sold the property it owned at Tuhkimontie 2. The real estate transaction was completed on May 12, 2026, and the buyer is HKA Kiinteistöt Oy.
The location of the property dates back to a time when Aalto University’s operations were not yet fully concentrated in Otaniemi.
AYY provides affordable housing for its members. In line with AYY’s strategy, housing operations are focused near the Aalto University campus. Divesting properties located farther from the campus supports this development. AYY’s housing investment plan is directed toward Otaniemi.
